Trivia

R- rated movie

In this film we can see Christopher Nolan's first R-rated film since Insomnia (2002).

Gary Oldman

While in this film Gary Oldman plays the American president Harry S. Truman, he previously played British prime minister Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour (2017) also set during the same war. That movie competed against Dunkerque (2017) during the award season in 2018, and earned Oldman a Best Actor Academy Award; Nolan was nominated for Best Director.

Nolan's collaborations

This is the second and consecutive collaboration between Christopher Nolan and the composer Ludwig Göransson, after Tenet (2020). Hans Zimmer is another frequent collaborator with Nolan. This composer was not available because he was already committed on Dune (2021) and Dune (part two) (2023) at the time both Nolan films were being made.
